The production continues to run at the theatre until the 13th September.
Production images have been released for the world premiere of The Daughter of Time, a new play based on Josephine Tey’s crime novel.
Directed by Jenny Eastop and written by M. Kilburg Reedy, The Daughter of Time will officially open at the Charing Cross Theatre tonight (25th July).
London, 1950. Inspector Alan Grant, laid up in hospital, investigates the alleged crimes of Richard III and the murder of the Princes in the Tower as a “cold case file.” What begins as a distraction becomes an urgent mission, as Grant tangles with two scheming Shakespearean actors, a couple of opinionated nurses, his own sceptical deputy, and a lovesick young American historical researcher to solve his case. And along the way, he might just solve the mystery of his own heart.
The cast includes: Rob Pomfret, Rachel Pickup, Noah Huntley, Harrison Sharpe, Hafsa Abbasi, Janna Fox , Sanya Adegbola, Henry Douthwaite, Sophie Doyle and Gregor Roach.
Director Jenny Eastop said: “It was so exciting to meet these very talented actors and see them bring The Daughter of Time to life so vibrantly and skilfully during the casting process. I can’t wait to start rehearsals with this brilliant company.”
The production’s creative team includes: set and costume design by Bob Sterrett, lighting design by Oliver McNally, composition by Haddon Kime, sound design by Andrew Johnson, hair, make-up and wigs by Diana Estrada Hudson, casting by Neil Rutherford, production management by James Anderton. The Daughter of Time is produced by Excelsior Entertainment, Mercurius Theatre, and Steven M. Levy for Charing Cross Theatre Productions Limited.
